The Innovative Research Of Mokume Gane In Modern Jewelry Design

Mokume gane is a kind of ancient technology originated from Japan and has a history of nearly four hundred years. During the long passing of the time and changing of the society, Mokeme gane always exudes a unique and luminous charming of all the ancient techniques and is a great promotion of all the techniques during that periods. This technology developed in Japan, and made a promotion to the metalwork of that period. Afer its orignation, Mokume gane spreaded to the western countries and then got a great development. With harding working of he western grain metal fans and some researchers on metal craft, Mokume gane was promoted greatly in tens of years and got applied into the modern jewelry design and production areas that added vitality to the modern jewelry industry.Mokume gane appeared late in china, and from the very beginning, little people understood this technology. But with communications between the reginal researchers and the foreiners and through the integration of the world jewelry industry development, more and more jewelry designers and technology researchers mastered the techniques and processes. And time, the deveopment of Mokume gane in China is applied major in the university research and also got adopted by some personal fans.In the aspects, such as how to enrich the expression of the mokume gane and some news methods and techniques applied in jewelry design becomed very important. the mokume gane suffers challenges and difficulties currently.For some difficulties such as the un-copied characteristics and randomness in the process of making Mokume gane, this technique is now used only in limited dimian. So the public have no chance to appreciate its charming. At the same time, some scholars major in Mokume gane technique are less involved in the designning, but the jewelry designers use some general decorative craft. For the above reseasons, Mokume gane needs a great improvement both in process and in design.Through learning mokume gane, the author understands the basic craft techniques and processes, analyzes the development status of current mokume gane all over the world, and finds new entry points, propose the application of modern science and technology and machinery to assist the process production. Also, with the above reseach, the author breaks through the limitations of traditional crafts, inovates depth excavation to identify in jewelry design, new technology angle and design angle to show the sense of the times of the mokume gane.The paper is divided into five parts. the first part gives a introduction to mokume gane, suming the development of this technology in Japan, the Western coutnries and China, analyzing the direction and work characteristics of the process on behalf of the characters, finding out the commonality of mokume gane and its further development which give new blood to the Mokume gane and enrich the technique methods in Metal art and jewelry design., and also make a deep communication between different subjects. The second part describes the technical difficulties and processes of the mokume gane, and the application of modern machinery and equipment to the fabrication process. The third part discusses why this process is perferred by people and its characters on complexity,precision and particularity, give a deep analysis the unique charm of the nature, personality and charming of Mokume gane.The fourth part takes out the innovation in technique and the combination of craft to jewelry designing, and gives a new way on transferring the Mokume gane jewelry from2D to3D, combinning the jewelry designning and other materials, decorating effect and jewelry design style.The fifth part are feelings and experiences of the author from design work and practicing, analyzing the combination of the Mokume gane and the moderm jewelry designning which gets a results on collision of the "kind" and "material" for the purpose of innovative application of the Mokume gane.Therefore, this paper introduce the development situation of the Mokume gane of all over the world and its current difficulty and limitation on technique, analyze some problems of the Mokume gane in the development of innovation, give a relationship between the technique of the Mokume gane and Jewelry designning from its culture inner and charming, and try to use the technique of Mokume gane to jewelry designning with breaking through of the limatations and diffculties on technique craft,, and dig deeper into the bright of the Mokume gane, transfer its craft effecting from2D to3D, and explore the relationship between this technique and jewelry designning from a new sight, expand its application in jewelrydesignning, look for the modern production effective linkages of technology and traditional craftsmanship. Also, modern styles gets used to pursuit a decorative effect and a sense of design which gives a full play to its unique decorative features, results in a currently and adoptive new Mokume gane jewelry designs.
